I don&#39;t get how, every so often, a random artist will be dubbed the next big thing/gay icon (who??) by a few of the gay blogs I read. It&#39;s almost as if they&#39;re being paid to create buzz.</p>
<p>I recall this happening when Kylie Minogue was trying to promote her last album. It made me go &#39;hmmm&#39; after the dozen or so Kylie related articles. And then she recorded &#39;intros&#39; for all these same gay blogs. Kind of rubbed me the wrong way. =/</p>JMG commented on 'Robyn: 'I Get Mistaken for a Lesbian all the Time''tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef014e88869a3b970d2011-05-19T07:40:32Z2011-05-19T07:53:19ZJMGI just don't get the attraction to her.

Maybe you don&#39;t get the way Europeans and Scandanavians use the word, but LGBT are such a part of the mainstream there that queer would never be meant in a derogatory fashion by any sophisticated person. It just wouldn&#39;t happen, and that&#39;s why she feels free(and rightly so) to use it. She&#39;s a friend of the community Big Time. I say it everyday on this site, but I&#39;ll say it again: gays need to focus on the real enemies, not stupid SNL skits or gay friendly pop stars or f@cking Gaga. These are our allies not our enemies, learn the difference.</p>Will commented on 'Robyn: 'I Get Mistaken for a Lesbian all the Time''tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef0154325f07d1970c2011-05-17T23:56:57Z2011-05-17T23:59:26ZWillI agree with Nate.

She&#39;s not using it as a derogatory term, she&#39;s using it as a catch-all term for all people who feel different.</p>Mikey commented on 'Robyn: 'I Get Mistaken for a Lesbian all the Time''tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef01538e8c1382970b2011-05-17T23:28:54Z2011-05-17T23:38:34ZMikeyI find her immensely talented and interesting.

She has incredible stage presence, and she has a gift for making songs that make me want to dance and cry at the same time.</p>neverstops commented on 'Robyn: 'I Get Mistaken for a Lesbian all the Time''tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef01538e8be36f970b2011-05-17T22:31:28Z2011-05-17T22:34:45Zneverstopslove this girl<p>love this girl</p>Stuffed Animal commented on 'Robyn: 'I Get Mistaken for a Lesbian all the Time''tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef014e887f5bd5970d2011-05-17T22:27:10Z2011-05-17T22:34:45ZStuffed Animalhttp://ignoranceisplentiful.blogspot.com/"A Straight person not afraid of saying the word Queer, I like."

<p>I don&#39;t like! What a moronic statement . . . when have Straight homophobes ever been shy about calling us queers, d*kes, f*ggots, he/she, etcetera? When homosexual folk think it&#39;s progressive that heterosexual folk feel free to call us derogatory names, it&#39;s time to swear off of whatever we&#39;re smoking. It&#39;s foolish to think we can ever &quot;remove the negative connotation&quot; from anti-LGBT slurs, and it&#39;s f*cked up to want to.</p>Nate commented on 'Robyn: 'I Get Mistaken for a Lesbian all the Time''tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef01538e8bb7a0970b2011-05-17T21:50:35Z2011-05-17T21:53:47ZNateA straight person not afraid of saying the word Queer, I like.
